I’m not an Astros fan specifically, but their WS victory gets my vote—partly because it was such a great Series (I liked game 5 especially) but also because they defeated the trio of Boston, NY, and LA, three teams with stratospheric payrolls. ---

I’m a Yankees fan, but while I was disappointed by the result of that playoff, yeah, the World Series win for Houston made me happy. ---

[Barca beating PSG, 6-1](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/03/08/barcelona-vs-psg-champions-league-live-score-updates/), in the Champions League to overcome a 4 goal first leg deficit and an away goal. In the first leg, PSG thrashed Barca by 4-0. In the second leg, Barca needed a 4-0 result to force extra time. They went up 3-0 early, but then PSG scored a goal to get the away goal tie breaker. That meant that Barca needed 6 goals total in the game to win. They scored 3 goals in the last 8 minutes or so to take the win, 6-1. ---

Yankees beating Cleveland in ALDS. Gutty performance by the Yanks and there just wasn’t enough in the tank for the ALCS. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-sports-results-of-2017/805778.md?page=1)
